Improvement of technological safety systems at mining facilities

Nowadays, process safety at mining companies plays a key role in ensuring the efficiency and sustainability of production processes. The mining industry is one of the most hazardous industries, with high risks of accidents and incidents due to difficult mining and geological conditions, high gas pollution and the possibility of sudden emissions of methane and coal dust.
Therefore, improving the process safety systems at mining enterprises is a priority task to increase the reliability of production processes and protect the lives of workers.
Effective degassing of mine workings is one of the key areas of mine safety, as methane released during coal mining poses a serious explosive threat. Modern technologies make it possible to remove gas from the massif by preliminary degassing coal deposits from the ground surface, coal seams degassing systems, mined spaces, etc. The introduction of digital solutions, such as automated monitoring and intelligent analytics, increases the efficiency of these systems, minimizing the risk of gas accumulation and sudden releases.
